Homemade Bubbleponics- MY FIRST TIME I NEED HELP PLEASE!

I just built my first bubbleponics setup and i am hella ready to get it up and running...i need help I have a couple of questions.

1. should I run the water consistently? i know that stealth hydro's kit doesn't come with a timer and it says continuous flow but im not sure?

2. what kind of minerals are good to run for this system?

3. I am running six plants and I am going to transfer them to a deep water system when I am ready for the flowering. I am wondering if anyone has any transferring tips or maybe some tips about what kind of setup I want to run for the six mature plants? I have ample space, but I know I can make something happen.

4.what kind of yields can I get from this? ballpark idea? anything helps!

thanks everyone

I read about aeroponics since I intend to clone with a DIY box in awhile.

1. I would run the thing constantly

2. Anything really for hydro usage just follow the directions (get better advice from another person lol)

3. I am too newbie to advise on transferring plants, so far only moved some clones from soil to hydro and I am still worried about them.

4. Yields are apparently so wide ranging depending on many variables that no one is going to give you a straight answer.
